He pointed out many WWII historic points, mostly old buiding that were used for hospitals, barracks, and whatever else. Doubt a prison was there, but very well may've been.
Matt, I don’t recall him saying where in France he was. He rarely mentioned his service. I wish he was still living so I could learn more.
